Trying to get a rise out of us older steeler faithful
Not gonna But TRUE STEELER FAN'S don't put down steeler players, especially one's that won 4 superbowls
This thread was meant to compare old players with new players

again, i'm not knocking what he did, i'm saying if he came in todays game he would not be good.......what he did for the steelers in the 70s was great, but looking at his stats, he would not be good in this era.........

You are waaay off on this one dude. There are TONS of QB's in the league (starters at that) who wouldn't have even been good enough to be Bradshaws back-up. With your asinine comment you are pretty much stating that the likes of Charlie Btach, Ben, Daunte Culpepper, and Eli Manning are better than Bradshaw was. The old Steel Curtain might not hold up well in todays game, but QB is not a position that has really changed much in 30-40 years.

well look at his stats against those slow *** defenses back in the day, he only had 2 more tds then ints.....the league would be to fast for him and it would be pick city all day

Koop one thing about Terry Bradshaw he didn't care about stats. All that guy cared about was winning and he played his best in the big games. The 4 Super Bowls he won proves that.

He was truely a special player and he had the confidence that he could make any throw. Thats why he threw so many INT's and the fact defensive players could actually play defense back in Bradshaw's day.

If the rules that are in place today would have been in place when Bradshaw played then I think Terry's stats would have been alot better.

well, he did get his head smashed into a windshield with no helmet, right before the season he had his appendix removed, and then another concussion when he was having a career day..... i don't see how you can expect him to have good stats this year...... so i don't know what you are really telling like it is.....he did good his rookie year, he did good his sophomore year......
